Lol, my 4 year old son enjoys the sucker jar at my LHBS. I'm guessing the fact that they have one means that I'm not alone. We had a discussion today about how the yeast 'eats' the wort. He thought it was pretty funny.

You know you're a homebrewer when your son educates his preschool on brewing beer.

My LHBS has jujubes at the cash. I bet they're like a year old.

I'm sitting in the middle of grad school orientation and just spent the entirety of the last lecture re-designing my pumpkin ale using the Brew Pal app on my phone. And obviously I'm spending this lecture on the HB Talk app. Is this an addiction or just boredom?

When a friend calls you and tells you he has a work thing and they want him to make beer for it. Then ask if you have room for 30g right now? My response no we have 25g fermenting 20g in secondary and 15g long term sec. waiting to bottle, I need a week then we can do it.

Also when you do so may batches in demijohn's that you put in a gantry crain with a 2,000lb atv winch on it to left stuff cause, ten gallons gets freaking heavy.

When you have two full size whiskey barrels and a three gallon in your barrel program, aren't part of a club and have the copasity to Brew enough to fill one.



Primary
10g Belgian Trippel w/ Brett and Lacto
10g Blackberry Porter
10g Union Jack Clone
10g Cream Ale
10g October Fest
10g Flanders Red
Secondary
10g Belgian Trippel Amarillo hopped
10g Flanders Red
3g Vanilla Russian Imperial Stout

Keg
1 Peach Honey Cream Ale
2 Rassberry Honey Cream Ale
3 Bourbon Barrel aged BIIPA
4 Light Brown Ale
5 empty
6 empty
7 empty
8 empty

4 15g demijohns fit on a pallet. forks attached to a kobotas 3-point make moving stuff easy.
